In the wake of a high-profile donation theft scandal unearthed during a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust and the State Bank of India have enforced sweeping operational safeguards across the donation calculation center in Ayodhya. To eliminate security loopholes and establish instantaneous visual identification, authorities have mandated distinct, color-coded workwear provided directly by the State Bank of India for all involved personnel. Under the newly implemented protocol, official bank counting staff must report in sky blue shirts paired with black trousers, third-party operational agency workers are clad in saffron (orange) shirts with black trousers, and temple trust employees wear crisp white shirts with black trousers, while oversight teams of veteran ex-servicemen maintain eagle-eyed supervision exempt from the standard uniform rule.

Zero Personal Belongs, Direct Police Monitoring, and Administrative Overhaul Ahead of New CEO Taking Charge

The aggressive overhaul stems from revelations that established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were severely compromised during cash tallies prior to the June theft incident, prompting immediate institutional corrective measures. Personnel entering the counting chambers are now subjected to rigorous frisking both at entry and exit gates, mobile phones and personal belongings are strictly barred, and mutual conversation during counting cycles remains completely prohibited under 24/7 CCTV surveillance connected directly to police control room feeds. As the workforce operates with a lean contingent of 25 to 30 personnel across two operational shifts, incoming Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jitendra Mishra recently conducted a ground inspection of the vault facilities, with additional transparency frameworks and expanded banking staff slated for official rollout once he permanently assumes charge by Friday.
